For The Love Of Buck

Some folks do not think Jennifer Buck Wallace, the (for the most part) volunteer Obama for President coordinator here in Tennessee, is getting sufficient props for her efforts on behalf of the cause:

Jennifer Buck Wallace has been working voluntarily with zero financial compensation since May, 2007 (except for a couple of months during the Primary season) to harness the enthusiasm of TN Obama volunteers and channel them to the appropriate areas according to their skills, experience, time allowances etc. She has also overseen countless events, conducted key meetings and compiled multiple recourses targeted to the statewide campaign volunteers. Due to her calm determination, ObamaTN has resulted in an incredibly successful grassroots (unofficial) presence statewide and especially in the metro areas of Davidson, Shelby, Knox and Hamilton Counties. Wallace has even gone beyond the metro areas to engage leaders to organize rural areas that are viewed in this cycle to be red. Without her leadership, ObamaTN would merely be a shadow of what it is.

The acceptance and execution of civil duty that Wallace exhibits should serve as not only an example, but also as a clear path to enter for all residents of the United States to be engaged in our country’s future. She serves as a role model to us all – reminding us of the unique character and governmental structure of America – that every single person matters and every single person’s contribution of their civic duty is necessary to the innovative evolution of this nation. Indeed, Tennessee is unusually fortunate to have such a leader within it’s border.
